Like a really shitty, dumb version of The Last Question. The prompt goes in now, AI brings it to fruition centuries later and we become the infirm people from WALL-E instead of transcending

First place to start, get a video started playing in your browser, then CTRL+SHIFT+C (at least in Firefox+derivs) lets you highlight elements on the page and it will take you right to the spot in the source where it is. Might get lucky and find a mp4 link sitting right there for the taking.

Something tells me they have it a little more locked down, though. Might be able to monitor the network tab in Dev tools and filter for media to find the stream, which could also come through in chunks instead of one big file. Might even be obfuscated depending on how much money they put into the web side of things.

Barring all that, use OBS to screencap in realtime

Let me dig my teeth into it first before we get going too fast, 5 days is a nice time frame for me to dig in and maybe even get started on mechanics if I do rebuild everything. You may be right on the move to Godot for multiplayer, and animating will probably be much easier since I know the system more and what it requires.

I have a codeberg for my other stuffs (which also has my email): https://codeberg.org/madamegaymes

Especially now that w4 games would help us port it to all consoles

Can you elaborate on this? Nevermind, I see what you mean now after searching a little. May or may not be necessary, but that’s down the road. Need functional gameplay first.

In terms of the cabinet, I don’t have any solid ideas. I’d need to be able to do some investigative work on the physical machine. My first thought would be to clone everything possible and get it running on something other than the cabinet, so I could really do some destructive research without worry. The idea was more of a joke, though. The thought of a pirating community raising $15k just to crack a slightly obscure game sounds hilarious.

And yea, open sourcing was exactly my thought as well. I didn’t even do that much digging on other projects that might be out there, but this one honestly seems like it has a lot already figured out. Even has MIDI implemented so it would be stupid easy to make a custom 4-player controller for it.

I can’t seem to get the web assembly version they have uploaded to GitHub pages to work though. I’ll have to check out the repo and run it locally. Depending on how well it’s done, though, it may only need a graphic enhancement and made more accessible. The only real benefit I could think of to add would be online multiplayer. I don’t specifically know Bevy, but I do know a little Rust and I’m pretty good at learning new things like this.

Have you tried running it? I’m very curious as to whether or not the controls/gameplay stacks up to the cabinet.

Yup!

The only reason I started to enjoy the prequels was because of r/prequelmemes

How can you not enjoy the classic cinematics of III?!

Prodeus is a fun multiplayer DOOM-like with old school vibes

If it means we can take psychedelics and hallucinate with them, I’m in as long as it fully takes over technology and I can hide in the woods

Let’s raise $15k and I’ll help crack it!

Or, maybe I could replicate it in Godot if I can find enough gameplay vids. Might give it a serious look, but can’t promise anything will come of it.

I was curious, so I had to look it up. Turns out, Aristotle found and already written treatise on the idea of palm reading… I know it’s not exactly palm “finger” printing, but even our ancestors knew palms were unique.

It does sound like something an idiot would do!

Perfect. Sunday is for the kids and the laughs, let’s throw in Flight of the Navigator for good measure.

Why do people assume that a new biometric is more secure than the ones already in use? In all cases, an authority figure only has to knock you out and they have all the access they need.

Even Spaceballs shows just how easy this is to defeat.

and Short Circuit on Sundays!

E&A are legit, for sure. One of the best lyricists.

Some unfortunate news, though… Eyedea died in his sleep in 2010. The 3 albums we have are all we’ll get. We lost a good one.
